Smyth grabs headlines but Saito stars

After a thunderous strike, it was Paul Smyth who grabbed the headlines following QPR's dramatic draw with Preston, and rightly so. But for me, Koki Saito was just as instrumental in the comeback.
The Japanese winger was brought on at half-time by Julien Stephan and made an immediate impact, consistently finding space on the left-hand side. His direct dribbling and willingness to run at defenders were also a constant source of anxiety for Preston.
